CBS Cancels 'Watson' and 'DMV' Amid Schedule Shake-Up
29 Mar
Summary
- CBS finalized its 2026-27 lineup, canceling 'Watson' and 'DMV'.
- Both shows' season finales will air in early May.
- The cancellations follow early renewals for other CBS scripted series.
CBS has made its final decisions regarding its 2026-27 scripted series lineup, leading to the cancellation of both the sophomore drama "Watson" and the freshman comedy "DMV." These cancellations were anticipated, as they were the only on-air scripted series not yet renewed by January. Their respective season finales are scheduled to air on May 3 and May 11.
The network is set to reveal its complete 2026-27 schedule on April 15. The fate of "Watson," starring Morris Chestnut as Dr. John Watson, and "DMV" was largely dependent on the performance of upcoming midseason dramas and comedy pilots. "Watson," a medical drama focusing on Dr. Watson six months after Sherlock Holmes's death, was renewed for a second season last year.
The series "Watson" features a cast including Eve Harlow, Peter Mark Kendall, Inga Schlingmann, Ritchie Coster, and Rochelle Aytes. It is executive produced by Craig Sweeny, Morris Chestnut, Sallie Patrick, Larry Teng, Sharon Moalem MD, PhD, Aaron Kaplan, and Brian Morewitz, with CBS Studios producing. The fate of "DMV" was tied to the performance of other pilots and midseason shows.
